Years later, Ergou still couldn't forget the song (Sailor) that Zhao Hongbing sang that night. Although Zhao Hongbing's voice was slightly hoarse and his articulation was unclear and had a slight northeastern accent (for example, bitter sand was pronounced bitter sa), but it was paired with (
The melody of "Sailor" is very beautiful
The most important thing is that Zhao Hongbing put a lot of emotion into singing this song. His mood at the time matched the lyrics and melody of the song very well. When he sang the line "After growing up... he gradually ignored his father."
"News about my mother and hometown", she was obviously sobbing a little.
"He said that this pain in the wind and rain is nothing. Wipe away your tears and don't ask why." Indeed, after Zhao Hongbing was released from prison, he did not sink or go darker. After returning home on the day he was released from prison, he wiped away his tears and really forgot about the past.
After more than four years of pain in prison, he cheered up and started a new life. The only pain he could not let go of at that time was probably Gao Huan.
"Red soldier, have you been playing the guitar every day in prison?" Sun Dawei always spoke in a down-to-earth manner. "You don't want to pick up any pot!" Zhang Yue reprimanded Sun Dawei, "Red soldier, Li Yang said,
Gao Huan is getting married tomorrow and will have a banquet at the city hotel. He invited me to go too," Zhang Yue continued.
"You're the only one who can talk! You're the one who doesn't pick up the pot!!" Fei Si scolded Zhang Yue.
"I just told the red soldiers, what's wrong?" Zhang Yue also argued.
"Well, I understand, then you can go." Zhao Hongbing's emotions are usually difficult for others to see.
"I told Li Yang that I won't go. Gao Huan went with someone else. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but cause trouble."
"Are you eight or six this year? You are so old and you can't control yourself, haha," Zhao Hongbing said
On the way home in the evening, Zhao Hongbing said to Little Beijing: "Shall we drive to the city hotel at noon tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Little Beijing patted Zhao Hongbing's shoulder. Little Beijing knew that with Zhao Hongbing's character, he would not make trouble. He must just want to see what Gao Huan looks like now.
At noon the next day, Little Beijing drove the Lincoln to the city hotel very early. Zhao Hongbing asked Little Beijing to park the car opposite the City Hotel. According to Little Beijing later, he saw Zhao Hongbing sitting in the car after not sleeping much that day.
It was only when he was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, staring straight out of the window, that he understood the idiom "Wanting to see through".
The custom in our city is that the bride and groom arrive at the hotel on time at 12:00 noon and set off firecrackers
In the Lincoln car, the smoke was so thick that people couldn't open their eyes.
"Red Soldier, are you a chimney? Can we open the car window?"
"Don't open"
"Hold"
Ergou really didn't know whether Zhao Hongbing wanted to see Gao Huan or not. He hadn't seen Gao Huan for more than four years. In his mind, Gao Huan was still the same slender figure from more than four years ago.
The back view is the only image that remains in his memory because it is said that Zhao Hongbing has long forgotten what Gao Huan looks like.
"Sometimes, when a person misses another person too much, he or she will not be able to remember the other person's face no matter how hard he or she tries. It will be blurry at first, and then simply cannot be remembered at all. Although I cannot remember it during the day, but
Sometimes I will dream clearly in my dreams, and I will recall them when I wake up in the morning.
I just can’t remember it at all.” Ergou once peeked at what Zhao Hongbing wrote in his diary. At that time, Ergou felt that his second uncle had become so pretentious, and he was very puzzled as to why he thought about the face of a person he was once so familiar with every day.
But I can’t remember that Ergou couldn’t truly experience this feeling until he was 22 years old.
Indeed, it is too difficult to clearly recall the face of a woman he loves deeply. Although Ergou can still clearly remember the faces of all the aunts who cook in several canteens in the school, but...
At 12:00, the float arrived on time, and a handsome young man in a black suit and a fairy-like woman in a white wedding dress got out of the car.
It is said that Zhao Hongbing was holding a cigarette in his hand and it had already burned his fingers. He didn't even realize it. Maybe he was thinking that he shouldn't come today. The woman he had been dreaming about for more than four years appeared a few meters away from him.
He was walking into the wedding hall with another person. He was just trying to make himself uncomfortable.
"Red soldier, that cigarette butt of yours! I pinched it!"
"Oh" Zhao Hongbing put out the cigarette butts
"Why is this boy so ugly?" Little Beijing wanted to give Zhao Hongbing a boost of ambition.
"A very energetic young man" Zhao Hongbing is more objective and realistic.
"I think you are much prettier than him." Little Beijing always wanted to make Zhao Hongbing feel more comfortable. "Do you think this is exciting?" Zhao Hongbing kept talking while his eyes were staring at Gao Huan's back. He was already almost there.
Gao Huan, who was at the door of the city hotel, suddenly turned around and looked at the Lincoln car parked across the road.
Gao Huan's eyes stopped on the Lincoln car. After looking at it for a while, she was sure that she couldn't see the people in the car at all.
"Has Gao Huan seen us?" Little Beijing asked Zhao Hongbing, "Is it possible?"
"Of course it's impossible, but she may know that this car belongs to us. After all, our Lincoln is the only one in the city." Little Beijing was delighted when he mentioned this Lincoln car.
"You will be extremely poor"
At this time, Zhao Hongbing saw someone pulling Gao Huan into the hotel. When she walked into the hotel door, Gao Huan looked back again, and then disappeared into the crowd.
"Let's go, Red Soldier"
"Wait a minute." Although Gao Huan has already walked in, Zhao Hongbing still hopes to stay a little longer. This place is closer to Gao Huan. "If you want to cause trouble, let's get out of the car now. I know there is a fire hydrant in this hotel.
I'll take it off and spray it all over that kid."
"Bullshit"
"Then why do you have to stay here and not leave?" Little Beijing knew that if Zhao Hongbing stayed here for a while, he would feel more sad.
"Let's go," Zhao Hongbing said. Before leaving, Zhao Hongbing saw Gao Huan's mother again, the woman who had knelt down and begged him to let her daughter go. That day, Gao Huan's mother was dressed in red and was very happy.
It is said that on the day of the wedding, Gao Huan kept crying while filling the guests with wine. The guests all said: Look, this child is so happy and so excited.
From that day on, Zhao Hongbing got into the bad habit of drinking and got drunk every day. When he saw Gao Huan again more than a year later, he had reached the point of severe alcohol addiction that his hands would tremble without drinking. The two years during which Zhao Hongbing became addicted to alcohol
, was nicknamed "Zhao Jiudian" by Little Beijing, Zhang Yue and others, Ergou thought it was very appropriate, because at that time he could not even sleep without drinking, and he only drank wine and did not eat vegetables.
A few years later, when Zhao Hongbing and Gao Huan finally got together again, Zhao Hongbing knew that Gao Huan really knew that he was in the car opposite the hotel that day.
"I knew it must have been you in that car that day."
"Why"
"I notified your best friend Zhang Yue. The purpose of notifying him is to let you know. I know you will definitely come and talk about it after you know the news. I know that car. Mr. Shen drives that car ostentatiously through the city every day. He
You can't just sit around and watch me get married." Little Beijing's nickname at that time had been changed to Mr. Shen in "The Fairy Wife"
"Then why did you look at our car for so long?"
"I thought you would get out of the car, run up to me, hug me and say: She is mine, no one is allowed to take her away, I will kill anyone who dares to take her away."
"What happens after you take it away?"
"After taking it away, if you take me away like that year, we will go to the same place we went to that year, and we will grow old there."
"... Didn't you feel disappointed that I didn't get off the car that day?"
"A bit... haha, but I know what you think. You don't want to disrupt my life. You hope that I can live peacefully according to my parents' wishes."
"Then why don't you run over to my car? If you run over, I will definitely take you away. I had already thought about getting out of the car several times."
"You are a man and I am a woman. I eloped with you when I was in high school and paraded in the streets when I was in college. I caused enough trouble. If I took the initiative to regret the marriage in front of hundreds of people on the wedding day, my mother would definitely not
Live on with face”
"Stop talking about this, you are mine now and you will always be mine. You are my most precious property. It was only temporarily kept in someone else's house for two years. Now I have taken back my property, isn't it?
"
"We lament that in this world, there are only a few flaws in the ointment, and now we don't believe it. Even if we raise the case to raise eyebrows, it will never be settled."
"Haha, yes, Cao Xueqin said this 200 years ago, the evil was caused by me."
